I tuned into this reluctantly, expecting Cone-Head type nonsense, but was pleasantly surprised to find a dialog driven comedy both smart and funny.If only my selection of movie channels would schedule more like this. I almost missed it, I've become so cynical about the constant barrage of action, crime, bad horror, and cheap sex farces, that dominate the selection.If you like being treated as if you have a grain of brainpower, then watch this little gem.Maybe the aliens will evolve us.

Drones is a small film well worth watching if you enjoy quirky, well-written, well-acted comedies. Going in, I didn't understand that the sci-fi angle would be so central, but it was nice to see a low budget production that features (more or less convincingly) "aliens" without the need for tons of makeup. And Drones almost as funny as 'What Planet Are You From?' (which also needed little in the way of FX). Angela Bettis, not the typical cute/perky "young thing" one might expect in a role like this, is quite arresting, with a lovely smile and expressive face. I found all the performances to be solid, with a cast of actors who are unfamiliar to me. Good comic performances all around. I also enjoyed the songs playing over the closing credits, including one that listed many aspects of earth life that might befuddle extraterrestrials. The quirky birthday song was also a hoot.

No-- Not like "The Twilight Zone: The Movie". Instead, it's more like one of the Old Twilight Zone Episodes where the Earthlings are going about their business, unknowing that aliens are sitting next to them, studying them and deciding their fate. So a warning to Sci-Fi viewers, even as this is the premise, there are NO special FX. Again, think of it as a movie length Twilight Zone episode. One of the OLD ones, where everything is in the script.Except in this case, one guy DOES learn that ONE alien is working alongside him in a large corporation.And just like a stupid guy, he starts a relationship with ANOTHER one-- and then breaks up with her-- then finds out that she controls an invasion fleet.The story is a light, humorous and totally surreal. But it is NOT about the imminent destruction of Earth; it's all about the Dangers of Office Romance.And Copy Machines that might not just be copy machines.And overall, heartwarming.Park this movie for a nice Friday Nighter. And it's rated fully Girl-friend Friendly.

I had the pleasure of seeing this at the Florida Film Festival this past weekend. Clever and witty, with a fantastic cast. There are touches of Office Space, but it's unfair to compare it too closely. This is an office all it's own, and the humor is in a whole other universe.Jonathon M Woodward, who plays Brian, is Bill Murray reincarnated. His voice, his mannerisms, his comic timing, all of them are positively brilliant. Sam Levine, as Brian's sidekick, has brilliant timing, and completely steals the scenes he is in.The scenes between Angela Bettis and Jonathon M Woodward are some of the greatest emotional scenes, whether they be funny or sweet. Angela has a very real stage presence, and a perfectly wicked grin. Just entirely too much fun to watch on screen.Great humor, great cast, great soundtrack. You'll love it. Get thee to a film festival and watch it!
